lullaby Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 So here I am. I've been reading a lot of posts lately and you know what? I never thought I would be so thankful for having found LS. One of the greatest things of the year for sure. So funny that if it hadn't been for my ex bf breaking up with me I wouldn't have found you all. I wouldn't even have had the courage to change jobs and meet such wonderful people there, and... well... such a cutie there too Even though there're tough days still to come, I know, but I've just come from seeing my therapist and she congratulated me. I can't believe I was strong enough to talk to my ex last week and tell him I was no longer hoping for us to get back, that I wanted to move on. I needed to say it, don't ask why or judge, but it felt it as the right thing to do. And now, after 4 months since the break up, I realize I'm learning to move on, step by step. At least I know what I should do: focus on the fun in my life, the good things. The crazy moments with my new coworkers who are lunatic as me; my career, friends and family. I just wanted to thank to all those who gave me some insight and piece of mind whenever I asked for it. I'm still gonna be around, I won't leave now! but I just needed to write this down.
Feelin Frisky Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 I'm greatful too despite recieving my recent (first) infraction. Just like people, no forum is perfect. But I like this one. :):):):):)
mickleb Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 I <3 LS. I've learned so much since I arrived a year ago. Thanks for posting a happy story, lullaby. It's good for the newbies to see what can be beyond the monochrome. (And good luck with cute guy.. ) x
TaraMaiden Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Yeh, it's nice here. I like it here. You get the odd per-lonker, but they're par for the course.... Tea, anyone? I've put kettle on.....
mickleb Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 I've just had a cup, TM but oh, go on then! F~ck. I like it here too much.. x
smk Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Yeh, it's nice here. I like it here. You get the odd per-lonker, but they're par for the course.... Tea, anyone? I've put kettle on..... I think we all learn alot here, and its alot more helpful since we are or have been in the same boat at one time or another... Yes but without the said per-lonker who would we per-lonk??? (another random mood day today)... Tara a cuppa would be lovely....
cookie2 Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 There's always someone to per-lonk! I'd love a cuppa Tara but every time I see your name I think of my ex... thats her name... DOH!!! (And yes I did have a paranoid reflex to check that you're not her... and you're not )
smk Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 hmmm - it seems like the UK gang seem to be online... good to see some of us here... Tea and scones for everyone....
Username37 Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 I'm still gonna be around, I won't leave now! but I just needed to write this down. You're quite the poet haha
bonpaw2008 Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 hmmm - it seems like the UK gang seem to be online... good to see some of us here... Tea and scones for everyone.... Yanks like tea too anyone bringing any to the streaking party, or is that alcohol only ??
TaraMaiden Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Cookie2, If it's any help, I'm very sorry if my forum name evokes bad feelings in you, and if it's any further comfort - it's not my real name. I picked it for a reason, but I guess it's a reminder of how even the most innocent and seemingly unconnected things can flick a switch for some. People can hide behind profiles I am in fact, a bald, 7' 9" body-building cage fighter with a hugely embarrassing fake tan. I look like a 'Toblerone' triangle standing on its point. I am a champion grower of petunias and have a penchant for breeding budgerigars. I am also the three-years-running holder of the Mr Universe, but am phobic about needles, and pass out at the sight of a syringe. My personal secret is that I paint my toenails candyfloss pink. I have killed people for revealing this, so keep it to yourself, ok? Only one of the above statements is true. Anyone who guesses which one, gets a chocckie biccky to dunk in their tea..... And if you want to know the 'why' behind the Tara, PM me, but it's not all that impressive....
TaraMaiden Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 lullaby, I'm sorry if it seems the British conntingency have threadjacked...and have taken possession of the kitchen for tea! I guess it's testimony to the camaraderie... Thanks for the thread. It's nice to hang out and just....chat..... And it's nice to know that actually, LS is actually a great support system. We may not be a substitute for professional therapy and counselling - but I don't think we do too badly.......
smk Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 but am phobic about needles, and pass out at the sight of a syringe. can i have my bikki please....

We may not be a substitute for professional therapy and counselling - but I don't think we do too badly....... I think we do a little better then therapy at least in my opinion - simply because alot of us here have been to the depths of hell and back... and on that thought ladies, and gentleman my quote for the day is : "I'm just a chubby ninja. Able to move between skinny people. Tiptoeing elephant. No one can see me. And then I attack! With ice cream and jelly, with chocolate sprinkles on top. Mmmmm." - Sleeptalkinman I am sorry I have been posting this everywhere - i read it and i cracked up and thought i would make as many people laugh as possible...
mickleb Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Yes, we are NOT, I repeat, NOT a substitute for professional therapy. I, in fact, can be very psuedo-analytical, pseudo-cynical and irritating but, I too, think we don't do too badly. Most of the time.. Is the chocolate biscuit prize cookie2? It's got to be budgerigars! x
TaraMaiden Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 can i have my bikki please.... Damn. I really thought the Toblerone line was so convincing too....! Yes, we are NOT, I repeat, NOT a substitute for professional therapy. I, in fact, can be very psuedo-analytical, pseudo-cynical and irritating but, I too, think we don't do too badly. Most of the time.. Put it this way, we're friendlier, we don't charge, and we don't have an appointment system. And we definitely don't clock-watch. Take all the time you need..... Is the chocolate biscuit prize cookie2? Nah... this is thick, 70% pure cocoa chocolate with wholemeal shortbread! But I can see where you're coming from.... It's got to be budgerigars!x smk got it....(I'm kinda wondering what gave it away! EDIT: Maybe it was in the tattoo thread...??) But he's generous. he might share.....
mickleb Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Sh*t. That sounds like a really good biscuit. (No offence, cookie!) x
cookie2 Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 No probs TM... it's just a co-incidence I know... and I can't avoid the name forever. I might call you TM though if you don't mind I think the true one is that you've killed people for revealing it
smk Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 toblerone has memories attached to the ex - so no way i was gonna pick that... LOL... I am generous and I shall share with everyone... There we go a little piece for everyone.... "this is thick, 70% pure cocoa chocolate with wholemeal shortbread" its an M&S biscuit... LOL.... i think here on LS we share our experiences rather than give advice... a text book can only teach you so much.... and we share our buiscits....
TaraMaiden Posted July 28, 2010 Posted July 28, 2010 Sh*t. That sounds like a really good biscuit. (No offence, cookie!)x I bake 'em....! No probs TM... it's just a co-incidence I know... and I can't avoid the name forever. I might call you TM though if you don't mind That would be cool. No problem... I've been called worse!! I think the true one is that you've killed people for revealing it I am one mean and ruthless assassin. But I do it with compassion.... toblerone has memories attached to the ex - so no way i was gonna pick that... LOL... See...? That's what I mean about random innocent remarks flicking people's switches. Sorry smk.... (I don't even like it much......) I am generous and I shall share with everyone... There we go a little piece for everyone.... "this is thick, 70% pure cocoa chocolate with wholemeal shortbread" its an M&S biscuit... LOL.... 'This isn't just any ordinary chocoalte biscuit.'.... *seductive music*..... i think here on LS we share our experiences rather than give advice... a text book can only teach you so much.... and we share our buiscits.... If anything sums us up, this does!
Author lullaby Posted July 28, 2010 Author Posted July 28, 2010 I <3 LS. I've learned so much since I arrived a year ago. Thanks for posting a happy story, lullaby. It's good for the newbies to see what can be beyond the monochrome. (And good luck with cute guy.. ) x Thanks! Yeah, I'm newbie but already feel like the family! And my God LS travels to all parts of the world, right? 'cause I'm from Argentina! LOL! I'm glad I brought a happy story. There's still a lot to do, but I guess we also should share when we're feeling good, right? (Thanks for the luck btw )

I'm glad I brought a happy story. There's still a lot to do, but I guess we also should share when we're feeling good, right? (Thanks for the luck btw ) Love is a universal language without any barriers, and breaks ups unfortunately are part of it.... Lull - you seem to be doing great - its good to read the happy stories, it really motivates everyone to take that next step to moving forward... And perfectly said, we should share both our sorrows and our joys...

Yeah, the fact that we all joined just to add something funny out of all the difficult moments we've been through and still are, right? It's nice to know you're not alone and you can come here and just vent, help, read, listen.. oh so many things
